CeCe Winans COME WORSHIP Tour Today: Atlanta to New Orleans October 2026

A large arena worship concert with a choir on stage and raised hands in the crowd
CeCe Winans brings the COME WORSHIP! Tour to Atlanta on October 23, 2026, and New Orleans on October 24, with Charity Gayle, Red Worship and Terrian.

Two nights. Two arenas. One voice that has carried gospel music for four decades, now standing in front of crowds that sing every word back to her.

On Friday, October 23, 2026, CeCe Winans takes the COME WORSHIP! Tour to the Gas South Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. On Saturday, October 24, the same tour fills the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, with the same songs, the same choir-sized sound, and a room full of people who came to worship, not just to watch.

The tour is billed as her biggest yet, and the routing backs that up. It opened on October 8 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it will run through 16 cities before closing on October 30 in Jacksonville, Florida, with stops in between that read like a map of American gospel music.

CeCe Winans COME WORSHIP Tour Dates October 2026: Atlanta, New Orleans and Beyond

After Atlanta and New Orleans, the tour heads to Orlando, Florida, on October 27, North Charleston, South Carolina, on October 28, and Tampa, Florida, on October 29. The final night lands October 30 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville.

Earlier stops took in St. Louis, Tulsa, Fort Worth, Fishers in Indiana, Cleveland, Norfolk, Greenville in South Carolina, Birmingham and Pensacola. Fans in each city recieve the same core bill: Winans headlining, with Charity Gayle, Red Worship and Terrian sharing the stage.

That shared bill is the point. This is not a solo singer with an opening act and a quick exit. It is four generations of worship leaders on one stage, built for rooms where thousands of voices can rise at once.

Who Is Singing With CeCe Winans on the COME WORSHIP Tour?

Charity Gayle brings songs that congregations already know by heart, including "Thank You Jesus for the Blood" and "I Speak Jesus." Her set gives the night its congregational core, the part where the crowd stops being an audience and starts being a choir.

Red Worship and Terrian bring the younger end of the bill, artists who grew up listening to Winans and now stand beside her. Red Worship described sharing the stage with Winans as a dream come true, and Terrian said she felt deeply honored to join Winans, Gayle and Red Worship on the road.

The mix matters because Winans has always sung across lines that usually seperate singers from their listeners. Gospel, worship, church choir, arena crowd: on this tour, they all end up in the same room, singing the same chorus.

"My prayer for this journey is that people of all ages feel welcomed and encouraged, and are reminded that when we lift up the name of Jesus, he meets us right where we are. I pray that communities will gather together, put aside our differences and worship together."

Those are Winans' own words about the tour, and they explain why the nights are framed as worship gatherings first and concerts second. The tour announcement describes the evenings as being about the joy of worshiping God together and bringing hearts together in a powerful way.

CeCe Winans Awards and New Music 2026: 18 Grammys and The Hymns at No. 1

Winans arrives on this tour with a record few singers in any genre can match. She holds 18 Grammy Awards, 31 Dove Awards and 19 Stellar Awards, and she has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

She is also not touring on old songs alone. Her recent album The Hymns debuted at number one on the Billboard Gospel Albums chart, a return to the sacred songs that shaped her, according to BGospel's tour report. That chart success sits alongside a busy year for worship music, including Jamie MacDonald's 30-track deluxe album and Left It In The River Tour.

The wider worship scene has been full of big-room moments this autumn, from the 550 people baptized in the North Sea at Bridlington to the Dove Awards winners celebrated in Nashville. Winans' tour belongs in that same story: large crowds, public faith, and songs that travel far beyond one church building.

What Happens at a COME WORSHIP Night?

A COME WORSHIP night is built around singing together, not around spectacle for its own sake. The announcement promises an arena-scale experience rooted in faith and community, with worship leaders from different generations lifting up the name of Jesus side by side.

For fans still hoping to catch the last dates, tickets are on sale through cecewinans.com and Ticketmaster, per BGospel's listing. The Florida swing that closes the tour — Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville — gives the run a final stretch in front of some of the largest gospel audiences in the country.

And the calendar does not go quiet when Jacksonville ends. Winans is listed for a Christmas Together run with Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith starting November 27 in Columbus, Ohio, which means the question hanging over the final COME WORSHIP chorus is a simple one: after two nights like Atlanta and New Orleans, what will these same crowds sing next, and who will they bring with them when they do?
